### DccPitch

Allows you to define the default value for the Pitch option that will be used when an Auto Feature is created. The Pitch value allows more accurate measurements of threaded holes and studs. Pitch, inside PC-DMIS, is the distance between threads along the axis of the feature. If the Pitch value is something other than zero, PC-DMIS staggers the feature's hits along the THEO axis, spacing them around the feature using the Start and Ending Angles.

For details on pitch values for various thread sizes, please consult an appropriate authority (such as the ASME standard).

Entry Name: DccPitch

Entry Type: Real Number to specify the distance between threads in MM. The default value is 0.

See the "Working with Contact Path Properties" topic in the PC-DMIS CMM documentation for additional information.
